Greg Passano Blistering album that holds up to this day. Sacrilege was so far ahead of their time. Relapse is honored to present the first ever fully authorized reissue of the legendary UK band Sacrilege's landmark debut 'Behind The Realms Of Madness'. Originally released in 1985, Sacrilege were one of the first bands of the 80s that both punks and metalheads rallied behind. Propelled by singer Lynda 'Tam' Simpson's ferocious vocals and polticically charged lyrics, 'Behind The Realms of Madness' blended crust, thrash, hardcore, doom and death-metal to create a timeless album that has directly influenced scores of punks and heshers alike
There's also a first press on red vinyl sold as a mispress due to having a wrong bonus track: instead of playing "Dig Your Own Grave", plays a song of the Punk band Death Sentence from the same compilation where the Sacrilege song was took off. From this press only 150-200 records were on sale. 1). Kildneybean (95/100). Crisp and so freaking awesome!

After replacing drummer Liam Pickering with Andy Baker, Sacrilege recorded their first album, "Behind the Realms of Madness", in 1985, which was released through the Bristol-based label Children of the Revolution Records. The album was moderately successful, selling a respectable 7000 copies. Shortly after this, the band brought in former Warhammer member Mitch Dickinson on second guitar, although he never played live with the band and he soon left to join hardcore punk group Heresy and later Unseen Terror.
